No discoloration, not even the trim stitching.

We use Starbrite vinyl cleaner and protectant if I was out of 303. Stubborn stains with wet rag with soap.

Pampers Sensitive baby wipes. Cheap, plentiful. No mixing/portioning needed. Always have a pack or two in the truck. Semi porous texture traps sand and dirt particles pretty easily. Scent/alcohol free, good enough for a baby's bottom, good enough for Softex.

Aero 303 is my go-to. Been using it since day-1 and haven't had any issues with discoloration or anything else. It can be a little slippery the day after applying it, but that feeling goes away pretty quick.

Griots Garage Interior Cleaner:
Interior Cleaner


- Griot's Garage


Microfiber in a bucket of clean water. Lightly mist on seats, then wipe clean with wet microfiber. For dash and door panels, spray directly on wet microfiber, then wipe clean. Leaves nothing behind, and is a very gentle cleaner.

Thanks everyone! I just added several of your suggestions to my cart. I am surprised by all the water on rag recommendations. Thought that would be a no-no because it would leave the surface dryer and more susceptible to wear and tear.

A weak solution of simple green and a brush works great for getting sunscreen off softex!

Murphys oil soap (cap full in bucket of water). Excellent for the complete interior cleaning including the headliner.

Keep in mind all plastics and softex material on seats are petroleum based and most cleaners are too harsh.

I've been doing that but getting my pants wet before heading back to work doesn't always look great.
